2015 Black Rook Merlot - CheckMate Artisanal Winery

Select Vintage

A lifted nose of roses, aniseed, bramble fruit and coffee beans. The palate is rich with dark fruits, cassis and savoury tannins coating the mouth.

Vintage: 2015
Vineyard: Black Sage Bench
Aromas & Texture: Complex & Savoury

The wine begins with aromas of raspberry, black cherry and vanilla. On the palate, there are rich flavours of black cherry, sage and licorice, with supple ripe tannins.
95 Points, John Schreiner

What I do appreciate is the individuality of this wine, and the site, and the care, and attention given to it to allow its personality to shine.
91 Points, Anthony Gismondi
